Why? Christine
Lahti

Seen: 18 December
2015.

In the opening minutes Christine
Lahti’s character Kathryn is awakened in the middle of the night and informed
that her husband, a pilot, and a hundred and four passengers have died in a
plane crash.

In the following days of memories and
arrangements, suspicious about the circumstances around the crash – maybe his
fault – grow. The pilots’ union is involved, and the FBI. Secrets, double
lives, betrayals emerge.

From a family drama it turns into a
political thriller. Not entirely convincing it’s still quite interesting, at
times even a bit exciting.

Christine Lahti, as always, gives a
solid performance and the Norther Ireland coastal scenery is beautiful.
